The 40-foot tall sculpture above features laser-cut steel with cathedral
motif, but in a typical Wim style, he likened it to a "suppository":

“Such a beautiful suppository is just another way of surprising
people,” Delvoye
told AFP. “The pyramid is like a butt.”

The artist explained that he hesitated between calling the sculpture
“Suppo” and “Doner Kebab,” in homage to the
Middle-Eastern sandwich whose shape it evokes. He said: “The Louvre
preferred something scatalogical that does not make reference to any
cultural differences and couldn’t be deemed discriminatory.”

Other works in the exhibition are no more likely to please France’s
cultural conservatives: the Napoleon III apartments include a trio of
fiberglass pigs adorned in ornate rugs, and nearby a sculpture shows
a deer and a doe engaged in an unnatural sex act.

Delvoye, for his part, couldn’t be happier to be showing
at the Louvre. “It’s a very strong brand,” he said,
“like Led Zeppelin or Microsoft.”
